I am planning to migrate in Canada....I am willing to leave this country!!!

Ouch.. Kasakit adto...

Bisag ako, kung tagaan kog opportunity nga makagawas, nga maka-puyo ug makatrabaho sa lain nasud, sa US man o sa Europe, of course, like many people, masugot jud ko uy! Not to flee the country and never to return again, but only to satisfy a personal yearning, kay dream sad nako nga maka-kita ug maayo nga panginabuhi, dream sad nako nga ma-successful, nga ma-reach nako akong goals in life. Dream sad nako nga makatravel sa lain lugar, maka-explore ug lain-lain nga mga societies ug cultures. Pero mubalik ra gihapon ko, kay as a Filipino naa sad koy obligation sa akong country. The people I really admire are those who, even though they have the means to leave the country, still choose to stay and work for changes here, believing that if they just have faith in themselves and their country and if they just persist, things will start to improve.

EZRA: Like I said, all we really have is hope. Yes, it's very tempting to give in to despair, but we must try hard not to. If we truly desire changes, then we cannot succumb to despair. I remember katung nagtalk si Randy David diri sa Cebu, mga two weeks ago lang, about the "socio-economic situation" in the country, naay nangayo niya ug comment about how problems in the country are so overwhelming for people to solve. Niingon si Prof. David nga we must focus our energies on the local level, meaning on our own communities, kay if we take on the problem of the nation as a whole, ma-overwhelmed jud ta, dili nato ma-handle kay complex ra kaayo ang mga problema sa national level. Whereas if we think locally, focus our energies to the problems in our local communities, then dili kaayo ta ma-overwhelmed. So it's really about participating in our communities, about working with other people, because when we work with other people dili na kaayo bug-at tan-awun ang mga problema.

disciplina ray kinahanglan nato... ngano kong adto ta sa lain lugar mo too man ta sa balaod... og ngano anhi sa pinas... mga badlongon man kaau.

[EZRA]

Mao lagi na, bisag sa Local community way gihapoy klaro... mga Baranggay Captains mismo bisag unsa na ka mubo ang position, wa gihapoy klaro. Mga Mayor ug mga konsehal... awa ang Mandaue ug Cebu city.. nag tuyok tuyok / pasa-pasa ang position pagka mayor. Dato na kaayo si Ouano, Seno, Osmena, ug Garcia. And if you really think about it ... bisag unsa ka mobo ug position ang elected officials, in one way or another, they're still being backed by the big dogs..

ehehhehe! sus! ka nindot kng tinood lng --but we can never live up sa standards nla -- we will be da laughing stock sa congress didto! thankful nlang sad ko even we are lyk dis -- @ least dri barato ra ang mga stuff .. tho not much ang mga choices. -- we are free to go out /hang out anywhere here 24hrs bisan asa ka moadto - no matter wut time - no one will bother u - unlyk der we have to abide a very strick systematic law - its a good thing tho' but i lyk it here way better dan der.

OT:
You can be out anytime diri.. there's no rule against that... and the things you can get here ain't that expensive, actually food is really cheap and if you're a good shopper, you can find cheap stuff as well.
I guess dili tanan maka relate nimo SPACEMAN.. maayo man kang pagka butang diha... not everyone has the luxury to drive their own vehicle. You have to consider nga majority sa mga taw sa Pilipinas, mga kabus. Yeah.. you can go out and party anytime you want as long as you have the money to party. Sa uban, maka action man gani pero inig ka ugma, way pamahaw ug pani-udto.

[FK]

kinsa man ga butang anang mga official dinha sa position? kita ra man sab d ba? so education is the key... bisan pa og U.S. state na ta. kong dili gihapon kamao mo botar ang mga taw, mao lang gihapon.

[FK]

usa pa sab... daghan kapal moks dinhi sa Pinas... daghan mamintahaay. gusto ila pirmi. Sample lang (gamay ra kaau ni nga butang) kanang mga duwa og counterstrike... naay uban proud ba kaau nga mo CHEAT, nya kong badlongon ikaw pay ingnon... nga nasuya ba kono. tan-awa onsa ka way au. Dili ang system moy angay usbon... ang attitude sa mga ubang Pinoy.

[EZRA]

Education lagi bai... pero ang budget para sa skuelahan kuha-an man gihapon... maoy naka pait sab lagi...... ang mga dili maka afford ug maayong education, kutob ra gyud sa Public School... and most public schools sa Pilipinas mobo kaayog standards.

[FK]

mao sab hinoon... pero kong daghan pa lang pinoy nga mo care jud... naa man jud tingali kausaban. d na tingali kinahanglan magpa U.S. state ta.
